Strip
This function Strips characters from string
Usage:

Parameters

chars: The pattern or list of characters to strip from string, replaced with ''
plain: A flag indicating that the chars should be understood as plain text. defaults to true.
Leading and trailing whitespace is also automatically stripped from the string.

Returns the index of the first given pattern to match the input. Patterns must be consecutively numbered.
Returns the empty string if nothing matches for use in {{#if:}}
Usage:

Parameters:

plain: A flag indicating that the patterns should be understood as plain text. defaults to true.
